My surge is on Wednesday and I'm really nervous and have all these random thought going through my head with how I'm going to feel after the surgery with the purée food and pain . I'm anxious but really nervous about everything else .

@@hazelzay It's normal to be anxious as the surgery date gets closer. You will do fine. Pain can be managed with medication - don't resist taking what is prescribed. You may have gas pains - which will go away with walking/moving. There's a lot of good things on a pureed diet - so don't worry about that either! You've got this!!! Good luck!

I have surgery next Friday but I'm more worried about the general anesthesia I think more than anything else but I keep telling myself all will go well!

8 months post op here.....but still remember the week leading up to the surgery like it was yesterday.

Pain was very surprising for me in that it really didn't amount to much of anything at all. Some soreness and pain meds for the first day or two at home was all.

I skipped the puree phase and just stayed with the Protein shakes until soft foods like tuna and such were allowed at 4 weeks. It passed like a breeze and the weight loss was steady.

The anesthesia was really improved over prior types I've had. I woke up clear and lucid and had zero hangover. Up and walking two hours later and every 3 hours afterwards.

Nothing to it.

I was nervous too, and I have had many other surgeries........

but it turns out to be one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I am thankful every single day (after the first couple of weeks).

I am looking forward to hearing how it goes for you and how you are doing afterwards.

i think the only thing i'm dreading is the hospital 2 day stay; but really.....after moving all weekend i could use the Rest.....tee hee hee..

My surgery is this Wednesday as well, so I'm right there with ya. Things will turn out amazing for you. My sister gave me this advice "think of the end results and how happy you will be." Maybe this will help you through as well. ☺
